Web: Download takes space of the media 2 times

[hofq]

The bug

If i download a file, the space is taken up 2 times.
So if i download a 50gig media file, i have to have 100 gigs available on my client.

I believe that happens because of the split download design which was selected to use. After a download hitting 100% in the Webui, it will be downloaded via the browsers download manager. In that Time frame the disk space is taken up 2 times until the Webpage is reloaded.

Additional information

This is especially a problem with large Media files. As i work a lot with 100M 4k 25p Records from my A7III, i hit large file sizes quite fast

I believe this is currently the intended behavior but we can make it a feature request for a possible future change.

[hofq]

I don't see this as a feature request.

If a software behavior differs from what a user is possible to expect, it's certainly a bug.

I just gave the technical background on the issue as i believed to understand why that happens, but a normal user isn't.

I don't think it's uncommon to have media files in immich which are a few gigs large. There is no Message stating that I have to have double the disk capacity on my drive to be able to download it.
